The decided triumph with which you honoured me at Morpeth, has filled our enemies with rage and disappointment. Even the impartiality of your Under- Sheriff has been called in question by them.

I feel proud of belonging to a County which has so distinguished itself by its Independence, and shall ,be cheered in a close atten tion to public business by the reflection that I am serving those who clime forward to assist me in putting down one of the most malicious combinitions that ever attempted to interfere with the Representation of a County. From this time 1 shall take no notice whatever of those attacks on my character, to which your decision at Morpeth has shown that you attach no credit. I shall study to serve you and my Country with zeal and fidelity, and ,shall look for your approbation as the proudest reward which can be conferred upon me.

Sin—As you obligingly give immediate admission to my 'for mer letter and extract from the work of the learned Joseph Bing ham, on the subject of Simony, I presume you will allow we to transmit you some further account, as given by the same authOr, of what was considered by the Ancients of the Christian Church as constituting that crime. Mr. Bingham tells us that it was commonly distinguished by them into three sorts—let, Buying and selling spiritual gift'; 2d, Buying and selling spiritual prefer merits ; Sd, Ambitious usurpation and sacrilegious intrusion into ecclesiastical function., without any legal election or ordination. The first sort was that which most properly had the name of si mony from Simon Magus, who pretended with money to purchase the gift of the Holy. Ghost ; and this was always thought to be committed when men either offered or received money for ordina tion. But as this species of siMony, as well as what he terms the 'third sort, " Ambitious usurpation and sacrilegious intrusion into ecclesiastical functions, without any legal election or ordination," are seldom, or perhaps never, practised in these days, it would be quite idle to propose to fill your columns with lengthened quota tions respecting them ; and 1 will ,only herewith beg leave to transmit you what our valuable author says concerning the second sort of simony, " That of buying and selling spiritual prefer ments." I am, Sir, Your very obedient servant, A Ratift OM ITS. " But they did not only call that simony which consisted in trafficking for gifts of the , Holy Spirit, but also all purchases mad. of the spiritual preferments of the Church, and all pro Motions made without just merit, out of mere favour and affection. The Council of Chalceilon not only threatens deposition _to any Bishop that sets grace to sale, and ordains a Bishop, or Chorepiscopue,or Presbyter, or Deacon, or any Clerk', for money; but also, if l ie promotes an aconomus, or st e ward, or an Eedicus, that is, an Advocate or Defensor, or a Paramonarius, that is, a Bailiff or Steward of 'the Lands, for his own filthy lucre. And birth the Clergy to ordained are to be degraded; and the Officers so pro mated to lose their places; and if any one be i n s trumental as a mediator in s u c h dishonourable and u nlawful traffic, if he be a Cleth, he is to 'be degraded; if a Layman or a Monk, to be anathematised. By the Laws of Justinian, every Elinlor was to depose upon oath, that he did not chose the party elected t ame he knew him to be a man of the true Catholic either for any girt or promise, or friendship , or an y other cause, f b a n i t h nnly ' bec and unblameable life and good learning' ° .e V r Y the Great, says, there t, reward of money for ordination, and' Were wins IV.O took no re yet w measure guilty of intim] y, because they gave holy suele orders for human favour, and thence sought the reward of praise r and favour They did not give freely what they had a n d anion n an holy office, they required the y , _reeeived ; be cause for gm t hree sorts of bribes, one from °Wee: . of favour for thatli ware hand* end another from the tongue.

I He that shaketh his hands front hottlitig of Ibribef.'" . Colonel ST;soroex rose to submit *series of Resolutions on the subject of the Policeof Bombay, which he undertook to prove was now converted into a system of oppritision on British as well us native • subjects. The motion he should offer to the Court was founded on facts obtained from public documents, and he there fine earnestly calle d upon th e C our t o f. Directors to protect the rights and privileges of Our East Indian Colonies, and in doing this, imitate the ancient Romans, who were always zealous in the defence of their distant Colonies. On the authority of Sir Edward West, Sir James Macintosh, and others, persons of the first authority and distinction, lie could prove to the Court that the Magistrates. of Bombay were in the continual habit of acting illegally, by banishing and flogging the inhabitants illegally' trying them for felonies, though they had no jurisdiction for doing so—and by depriving them of redress of their grievances by withholding from them the writ of Habeas Corpus. The Gallant Colonel then briefly reviewed the history of the Police of Bombay from the year 1779, and commented on the disgraeeful, system of club-law and universal op pression which, he said, had existed-in that colony, and which had been declared by the eminent individual, he had before named, to be in direct contravention of the Statutes passed for the better govern ment of thatleountry. Flogging, which was still inflicted in our co, looks, was now nearly discountenanced by every civilized nation. It had been abolished in the French army ; but before it was discon tinued, it might be said to be one of the leading causes which led to the decapitation of the French King, and the Revolution that soon after followed. It was banished by Napoleon from I taly,and it was not till the return of legitimacy in France that it was again revited in that nation. hi India it still prevailed. Formerly it was only in tended as a punishment for men of the lowest caste, but now men of superior character were degraded by the use of the lash. The un happy culprit, it was stated, was taken out, stripped, and tied to a tree, and in that situation, punishment was inflicted with the ratan, and so dreadful were the stripes of that weapon, that the sufferers were sometimes clothed in a leather jacket—a sort of a cuirass, to prevent the blows taking a mortal effect. Indeed so shocking were the blows of the ratan, that the catto'-nine-tails had been recom mended to be used in its stead, as not inflicting more than a twelfth part of ,the punishment. It had been the practice to or der these severities to be used, equally on British and native sub jects, with Out any foundation in law for these orders, and snore than one-sixth of the felonies that were tried at Bombay were tried illegally, as they were not taken before the Supreme Court, and the unfortunate prisoner was prevented from appealing, though he had the right of doing so, fearing to excite the virulence of the police against him. One of the points he therefore wished to gain was, to give the Supreme Court the power of interfering when it saw occasion, which was a privilege it slid not now pos sess. In fact, the whole system was one of extreme oppression, -and if it were suffered to be continued, it might be said that the reign of law was over, and the reign of anarchy had arrived. One instance of severity, of many which he could name, was that of a Hindoo who had broken his bail, with the respect to the observance of same native ceremony, for which he was taken before a Magistrate, and ordered to be flogged—this he endured, and four days afterwards died, of what was said to be the cholera morbus—but there could be no doubt as to what was the real.cause of his death. Had this event occurred in England, there was not a !martin the land but would have taken fire at such cruelty—nor a hand that would not have been raised against such a grievous oppression. Another case was of a sepoy, who was sentenced to be flogged for some slight offence, to avoid which he cut his throat, but not so effectually but that he received the lash in ten days after, and while the wounds of his throat were yet unhealed, and his back raw from the :stripes, the unheard-of cruelty was exercised of marching him at the head of Isis regiment, worn down as he was by pain and disgrace. The Gallant Colonel, after naming the fact, that the Courts-martial of Bombay had the power of intheting as many as 1,000 heirs et a time, said be trusted measures would be taken to abolish this cruel, abominable, disgraceful. and iniquitous practice. fie then moved the following I. That in the sth Article of the Honourable Company's Rept lst of l N 14, it is declared lawful for one of the Justices of Police upon complaint made by any master or mistress against any servant or hamal, on such complaint being established on the oath of one credible witness, to punish such offender, by causing any number of lashes, not exceeding twelve, Air such offences, to be inflicted on him or her so offending. 2. That this regulation (acted upon at Bombay) is utterly illegal ; for any power of the Petty Sessions at Bombay to inflict the punishing of whipping, must be derived froM the regulation made under the -statue, 30 and 40 Geo. Ili., cap. '79, sec. IS, according to which corporal punishment can only be inflicted on conviction before two Justices of the Peace. 3. That in defiance of this statute, and the wise idmonitions of Sir James Macintosh and Sir Edward West, inn have been fined, flogged, and banished, and these monstrous practices are still obstinately persevered in by the Magistrates, and sanctioned by the Grand Jury of the settlement. 4. That the Court doth humbly recommend to the Count of Directors to repeal the 6th article of the Regulation of let of 1814, which is opposed to 39 and 40 George 111, and to cheek the barbarous practice of flogging in British India. - b. That returns of the convictions and punishments had and inflicted before the Magistrates, sitting jointly and separately : and also before the Petty Sessions of Bombay since 1811, be laid before the Court, anti that the King's Judges at Bombay be re quested call on the Magistrates for the said return. 6. That a list of the sentences of Regimental Courts Martial, which have occurred in the Hon. Company's Army, from 1890 to 1825, be laid before the Court. - Dr. Guctletsr Seconded the motion. When he was 4 humble Assistant-Surgeon in India, he witnessed the flogging of an artil leryman, and was set to watch that the poor fellow did not lose his life by the severity of the chastisement. Ile saw the wretched man flogged till his back was as raw sea piece of meat in a butcher's shop, and seeing the man's life was in danger, and not being able to endure the sight longer. he desired the officer in command to desist, at his peril. He did so, saying, however, that the man would not thank him, as it wonld only be renewing his punishment at a future day, notwithstanding the poor fellow had recently come out of the Hospital. He, however, escaped by his interference, and never after received the remainder of the lashes, though the exereiee of this forbearance was very unusual. In the French army flogging was very seldom rearted to. The truth was, the men, rather than suffer the disgrace, shot themselves, or else the officer who had ordered them to bear that chastisement ; and he was sorry that we were the only people who required to be flogged into acts of duty and bravery. He hoped to lee the practice wholly abolished. Sir C. Rontssow, the Chairman, said he did not mean to be the advocate of practices such as bad been diceribeil•- • —(flear, heir.) words in justifivation of the Di rec t ore . butHe he the particular regulation of th e let o f was wi sh ed from defending 1814; and 'Wit was in otipositton to the statute of 39 and 40 Geo. 111. the Court of Directors would he most anxious to cor rect the error. The Court of Directors had no power to call for the information from the Supreme Court, required by one of the proposed resolution, ; but if the cruelty described really existed, he had no doubt but that, on applieatiou to another quarter, it would soon be put a stop to, - He, hoWever, wished to observe, that flogging was reeognieed by the laws of England ; and what applied to England in that restiect, must also'apply to India. It was not in the power of the Court a Directors to put a stop to that species of punishment; that could only be done by the Le gislature. The Directors would do all in their power to prevent any unnecessary severity being used ; and this assurance, he hoped, would induce the gallant Colonel to withdraw his motion. After some further observations from General Thornton, Mr. Trant, Dr. Gilchrist, and Captain Maxfield, Colonel Stanhope withdrew the motion, on t h e reliance that the pledges given by the Chairman would be acted upon. motion t he Dr.' Guettalsr next brought forward h is on , jet of the !Wilke Establishment of Bombay. He read copiously front the communications of Dr. Britain, Captain 111 4 Can, and various other gentlemen connected wit h India' on the subject of the great advantages to be derived by the diffusion of philosophical and scientific knowledge among the native inhabitants; and be paiticularly drew the attend.* of the Court to the numerous be nefitstluit would wive by die proper study of physic by the na tive doctors.. An institution for this purpose had been formed Wider the Gomunent of the Of Hastings, slid he mitt " That it be strongly recommended by the Court of Proprie tors to their Executive Body at home to encourage and support by every rational attempt on the part of the Government abroad, to communicate useful knowledge among the whole of the British Indian subjects, and more especially the branches of beueficial information now taught by the Medical School, now some years established in Calcutta by the Marquis of 'lasting*, and warmly countenanced by the present Governor-General, Lord Amherst, for instructing the Native Doctors attached to the Bengal Army, in the modern art of surgery, and the existing practice of phy sic, including those indispensable sciences on which the success ful application of medical aid must ultimately depend." Capt. 4‘l.txrtsa.n seconded the motion. He thought a Medical School would be of the greatest assistance to promoting the know ledge of physic and surgery, but he thought it absolutely necessary that the person who superintended it should not hiee'a plurality of appointments, as the duty of the office was amply sufficient to occupy his whole time.• lie was aware that pluralities were raudh admitted in India,: and he held in' his hand a list of nine appoint ments which one person held. The Medical School, in his opinion, had gone into decay for want of proper attention being shown to it, for it could not be douhted that if properly conduct ed, the greatest benefits would, be derived froM it. • Sir C. ROnmsoN considered that the present motion implied a severe censure on the Court of Directors, in not having duly at tended to the intellectuil improvement of the inhibitants of the British possessions in India, although they annually expended very large sums in contributing to the support of numerous schools and colleges. With respect to this school, it had been considered that as there was a Medical School at Madras, where scholars were instructed without a superintendent, the same course might be adopted at Bengal, without any prejudice, as it was believed that more knowledge could be obtained. by practice than in attend ing to the lectures of a superintendent, who might have other engagements • to attend to, for he admitted that pluralities of appointmenta was one of the worst features of this ease. If the institution was a useful one, he admitted that no person was better able to fill the office of superintendent than Dr. Britain. The Court of Directors, however, were not yet in possession of all the aircOmstances that could enable them to judge of its utility ;—When they bad that information, they were perfectly disposed to do that which was most advantageous to the CoMpany's good ; and as this was a matter which had better be considered by them than by this Court, he submitted, as an amendment, that the subject be left for their discussion. This amendment, after some further remarks froM Dr. Gil christ, Sir John Doyle, and Mr. Tram, was carried in the affir mative, The Court confirmed a Resolution of the Court of Directors of the 3d inst. providing that Capt. Michael, of the Madras Esta blishment, upon his resigning the military service, in order that he may continue to act as Mahratta Translator to the 'Tanjore Commissioners in England, in which capacity he received a salary of tom. 10s. per annum, should be granted a continuance of that salary for life; and further providing, thist whenever the period Should arrive at which, if Capt. Michael had continued in the military service, be would haVe suceeeded to the command of a regiment and a Share of off-reckonings, the said salary of 6821. 101. per annum be increased from that date, to 1,050/. per annum for life.

One of them was carried home in a state of insensibility, and died on Tuesday last.

LOVE AND *TEA LOUSVe-LIEGE , JUNE 9.- - A tragical scene has just taken place here, which may be compared to any of the most painful tales you have read in romances. The facts are as follow :—A young man, Joseph Verbue, had recent ly been enrolled in an artillery regiment, in garrison here. Ile entered the army as a volunteer; the motives which have induced him to leave his home, were disappointments in love and exec s. sive jealousy. He had been acquainted for a long time with an interesting young female, whom he wished to marry : his friends were no t averse to the match, which, it was expected, would shortly take place. The young person who bad flattered him with every encouragement, and whose conduct manifested tender feelings towards him, bad not, however, given a positive consent. She framed various reasons for postponing the celebration of the nuptials, but the real one, which unfortunately she did not at the time communicate to any person, arose from a jealous feeling which she entertained towards one of her female friends, to whom her lover had shown wore attentions that she than u to iv ta h l e i r y e g wards her supposed rive) , war the only c ause of t he youth's i p u l i e s 4 tak lin et to in h l e i r e; c i o t n l j t e a c s tu s r i e n s e , s a b r f n r ie p n r t e i d p , alone to - kind ness to her. In order, as she thought, to estrange his affections from her rival, she had recourse to the not uncommon, but danger ens phut of rendering Mtn jealous. To effect this, she showed a particular w ay r imprudent man who visited her father's house, ndon desire occasionuiprudent enough to walk out one w i th hi m a t o n e in the evening. The circumstance natarally came to the knoWletly of Itieph, who, after upbraiding her with her inconstancy; suddenly left his home, and immediately' became a soldier. A few weeks after this event, having heard that he was at Liege, slid repaired thither, in company with the young man ahtwe-mentioned, and went to the residence of the yoting sohlier. He received her kindly, but when informed with whom she had come to Liege, Ida anger knew no hounds; he swore that lie would murder her, and struck her a violent blow; he 'then ran into an adjoining room And seizing a sabre, returned and inflicte,t several deep wounds on his prostrate victim. He was hist:lllth. arrested. The' unfortunate girl, notwithstandi ng t h e wounds hadreceived, recover ed. Such was the evidence that came out un the trial. He was senteneed to death. The poor female who had been entnpe llo to appear'int A ' witness against her lover, was no sooner informed that he was to be executed, hut she rushed out Of the room to which then had conveyed her, ran faro a slop, and a sharp . instrument upon 4 table, she seized it and stabhe4 WWI to tilt heart. sOMEHRETSIIIRE.--11.cmorm, Juxt 20. The innkeepers suffered a great disappointment as to the engage mente of beds, and they deterinined to make those pay who had no alternative but to remain all night. The voters for Diekineon and Sir Thomas Lethbridge seemed to • hive adopted the course pursued by those Who came forward for Mr. Aunt. They quit ted the town immediately after they were polled, fur the purpose of attending to their duties, with which the contest interfered ; and at eleven o'clock the town Was in. VA complete tranquillity. as We remember it to have enjoyed at any period. • Mr. }Nem having declared in the space beliwe the Court:. house that he would have upwards of 300 voters up from Fume this day, a considerable bustle Was expected to place at an early hour, but all was quiet until after nine o'clock, when the drums and trumpets of that candidate were heard through the town, and crier of ' 4 Hunt for ever," resounded from all parts. He came into the town accompanied by his friend Oliver Heyward, in a gig, and the, moment he reached Nortliuven House, where the troops are usually marshalled, he ordered the voters to fall in two by two, and march to the Court-house, fOr the purpose of taking the oath against bribery. At ten o'clock the Sheriff took his seat in the Court-house, and Sir Thome Lethbridge and son, and Mr. Hunti - sonn fol-, loived. The-voice of Mr. Hunt was heard long before he was. seen. He suspected that his voters would meet with unfair treat ment, as rare' had, he said, been taken the day before to exclude as many of• them as possible• from the Court-house, in order to, smother his exertions for the people of Somerset. The Under-Sheriff' called :upon each of the pull-clerks, and gave the necessary directions. One of them, named Baker, was objected to by Mr. Hunt, 'spoil the ground that be kept the post-office. Baker (looking up at Mr. Bunt).--That's another falsehood. I keep no post-office. - Mr. Hutvr.—Mr. • Sheriff, this is the effect of the disgraceful conduct pursued yesterday. 'Re language used by the other can didates has been imitated by all their low dependents. I said yesterday that the well-dreseed rabble required to he checked. Why is this permitted ? • • ••' • • - • Baker said he kept no post-office ;• and repeated that Mr. Hunt had asserted a falsehood. Mr. Huier.—Ay. What are we to expect from such rascals— from fellows who are dragged up to make a Member, whether they will or no? Sir THOMAS LFTHIOt MOE (turning round and looking full in Mr. Hunt's face) -What is that yosi say, Sir? Mr. Hum.-1 say that we could have expected no better treat ment than this from fellows who imitated the blackguard conduct of their employers. Mr. Sheriff; you ought nut to permit the well-dressed to disgrace the county. Sir Time. Ltripeitinux (to Mr. llunt).—Why do you not behave as you ought? I am determined, whatever may be the consequence, that the• county of Somerset shall not insulted by you. Mr. Ilim.—lnsulted , by tne ! the county is insulted and die graced by you. This fellow (pointing to the poll-clerk) takes his cue from you. The well-dressed rabble cry out, in answer to every charge, "'Tis false- 1 6i a lie—you lie." They follow the. example set by you. Dickinson and Lethbridge talk of manners was this a proof of it ? Sir T. Letit nit Youvre insulting the freeholders. The Shrills's. regretted that such language had 1.44,11 used, and expressed i hope that it. would terminate at (ince, and that the bounces of the day should be proceeded with. Sir T.: Leznoutriast bowed to the Sheriff; and • Me. Howl , said be eliould, without'hisitationi submit to th e suggestion of that officer. The Ilitnive-Snientrrthen called upon the vOters to come file ward end take the oath against bribery and corruption. It was, he said, upon that occasion they had assembled in the court-house that morning, Mr. Hunt having desired that every voter should be put to-that test. A moldier of voters, who evidently came to poll for' Mr. Hunt, then stood forward—they declared their readiness to take the oath. Mr. HuNT---Ay, they will do it without hesitationthey will do it without quivering the lip. There is not a man in thatgroup opposite to you (pointing to the Huntites) who is not determined to give a conscientious vote—there is hot a Slave amongst doom. What do you think of that, Sir Thomas? Sir T►►OMay smiled again, but made no observation. The UHnnx-4rta►ttrr here suggested to Mr. Hunt the pro priety of his (Mr. Hunt's) furnishing a list of his voters, in order to facilitate the business, which otherwise would be much pro tracted. Mr. do not know the names +my of those gentle men—they are no slaves--(looking ensitemptuously at Sir Tim mas),—they come here voluntarily, they are not like your depend. ente. t don't keep a list of them as I. would of my dorsi...—. (Laughter and murmurs.) Mine are all honest men, and come here to take their oaths without quivering lips. A Voter.—We are as honest as Sir Thomas, and are ready to take the oath. Mr. littNr.—There are honest fares, Sir Thomus, no quiver ing liere.-41.aughter-4n which Sir Thomas joined.) It was said yesterday by one of you, that no honest man would vote for Hunt. A Voter.—Any man who says I am not an honest man is a rogue. - [Here an attorney made some observations with respect to ob jections made the day before by Mr. Hunt, to some voters, who presented themselves on the aide of the other Candidates.] Mr. Hurry (addressing the ottorney.),..--You refused yesterday some votes for me, which ought not to have been objected to. The Attorney.—That is false. Mr. Horm—Ay, there you go--4here is another proof of the effect of the blackguard conduct of yesterday. Every low dirty dependent upou Lethbridge or Dickinson adopts this insolent language in imitation of their contemptible employers. Sir THOMAS LETHIIHIOOII,—The conduct of this person is most outrageous and disgraceful. Mr. HeNT.—Can the sheriff deny that sun and Dickinson made use of language yesterday which would have disgraced the lowest rubble in the loivest pbt-house in the county? Sir T. LETHRRIDON looked sternly in Hunt's litre, and ssid-- o Thi s conduct is not to he endured—this iodieidual is most grosidy insulting file eotinty." blr. lltivr.—Theist are freemen, they are not di apled up ys i'our miserable dependents arc to vote; they come up without ming paid. I neither pay thou unr their expenem Sir T. lATICARIDGE—Every Word you speak is an insult to 'reeholders of the comity of Somerset.
